TUSCALOOSA – The University of Alabama women’s basketball team continues its busy week of home games on Wednesday night playing host to a very competitive South Dakota State team at 7 p.m. in Coleman Coliseum.

The Crimson Tide improved to 9-3 on Monday night with a hard-fought 60-56 victory over Florida International. The victory was the Tide’s second straight and also marked UA’s fifth consecutive home win this season. Wednesday night’s tilt with SDSU concludes the non-conference portion of the Tide’s schedule.

South Dakota State, a provisional NCAA Division I member this season after making the move up from Division II, has posted an impressive 11-4 overall record playing a mixed slate against both D-I and D-II opponents. SDSU will be playing its 10th Division I foe in Alabama and have posted a 5-4 record thus far including a win over SEC member Kentucky. The Jackrabbits have won their last two contests with victories at Oklahoma State (81-66) and at Middle Tennessee (58-56) on Monday night. SDSU reached the Division II Elite 8 in each of the past three seasons and captured a Division II National Championship in 2002-03.

Sports Radio 1420 AM “The Tusk” will carry all the action live on Wednesday along with New Rock 90.7 FM. Fans can also listen to game and follow live stats via the internet at: www.rolltide.com.
